Your problem is the script continues to run after
a number less than 18 is entered into the first prompt.
The script as written has no way to be stopped before
running all the code so the second prompt is displayed.
One way to solve this is to put your code into a function
the return statement will end execution of the function if a number
less that 18 is entered in the first prompt
Javascript /need help with Conditional Statements
Hello,
Need help with my code. Do not understand why it does not work properly.
Description:
Create a web page with a linked external script that takes as input the user age. if the age is less than 18 the web page should display “You are too young to vote” Otherwise the web page should proceed by asking if the person did register to vote or not using a prompt. If No the page should display:” You need to register before you can vote” if yes the program display: ” You can vote”
Use descriptive names of variables, appropriate primary and secondary conditions ( if/else), and display correctly the outputs on the webpage based on the condition.
Code:
[code]
<head>
<title> Voting! </title>
<script type=”text/javascript”>
var age = prompt(“Please enter your age”);
if(age < 18){
document.write(“You are too young to vote!”);
}
else if (age >=18){
alert(“You are eligible to vote!”);
}
var answare = prompt(“Did you register to vote?”);
if (answare == ‘yes’){
document.write(“You can vote!”);}
else
{document.write(“You need to register before you can vote”);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

One way to solve this is to put your code into a function
``<i>
</i>function start(){
var age = prompt("Please enter your age");
if(age < 18){
document.write("You are too young to vote!");return;
}
if (age >=18)
alert("You are eligible to vote!");
var answare = prompt("Did you register to vote?");
if (answare == 'yes')
document.write("You can vote!");
else
document.write("You need to register before you can vote");
}<i>
</i>`</CODE>
Now you have a new problem, the function must be called in order to<br/>
run the code. this can be done by user action such as clicking a button ...
<CODE>`<i>
</i><head>
<title> Voting! </title>
<button onclick = start()>Start the code</button>
<script type="text/javascript">
function start(){
var age = prompt("Please enter your age");
if(age < 18){
document.write("You are too young to vote!");
return;
}
if (age >=18)
alert("You are eligible to vote!");
var answare = prompt("Did you register to vote?");
if (answare == 'yes')
document.write("You can vote!");
else
document.write("You need to register before you can vote");
}
</script>
</body>
